Love this place! Lots of old school video arcade consoles with games like Q*Bert, Pac Man/Woman, Galaga, Asteroids, and ten-plus pinball machines (my favorite). You pay one entry fee, and have access to all the arcade games and pinball machines you like, for as long as you like. If there is a problem with anything, you just let the person at the front desk know. They have had a small ice cream shop with Slush Puppies available too, in kind of a middle room, between the front room and the back room. They haven't had ice cream in there lately, and they may be changing that room into something else, but they will still sell snacks and drinks of some sort. The back room is the Axe throwing room. Wow, do they have a fun set-up back there! You can just come in with a friend or two (or 5) during their general hours Thursday through Sunday (generally afternoon and evening), and see if they have space for you, or you can make a reservation, and they will be all ready for you. After you pay (per person) and fill out the individual forms the coaches will explain safety and procedure, and help you learn to throw or improve your throwing. Tip: throwing them harder doesn't make it work better! You MUST wear closed-toe shoes. It is not unheard of for an axe to fall out of the wooden targets as you're retrieving them, and if they land just right, they are heavy and sharp enough to injure someone in sandals or Crocs. I've been with a group of women from our church, and a few friends who just felt like going. They even have regular groups that come weekly or biweekly, and have standing reservations. If you think your axe coach was especially attentive and helpful, you can tip them.

Not only is this place an excellent arcade, but the ax throwing is super fun! If you want to feel like an old-time Viking or warrior definitely come down and get your hand on one of these ax handles as soon as you can and get to throwing! There's a slew of fun games they've arranged for you to try out in the ax throwing! The arcade is super fun there's a lot of great relatively modern and old school arcade machines here! I myself found the rock and roll ax (guitar hero) to be a great addition to the authentic axes of the throwing lanes as well!

We had our 11 year old's birthday party here, and it was awesome. Being able to bring in our own pizza, cake, and drinks makes this the best place for a birthday party in town, at least from a financial perspective. They've got a party room that's already decorated, and has paper plates, forks, napkins, etc. We showed up with some pizza, a cake, and a cooler, and boom. Party. The kids had a blast playing games (and so did several of the parents). Staff were super friendly and helpful. Could not recommend this place enough.

Awesome service! We booked a private event for 30 (a work group). Jessica took very good care of us before and during our event. Her communication via email was very prompt and detailed reassuring me that we would have a good experience. Upon getting there, she made us feel like we were long time friends and she was helping me host a party. Anyone would feel the same! I can’t say thank you enough to her for making my party smooth and enjoyable. I catered from elsewhere, but she was ready to provide all the missing utensils and help manage the food so I could step away to have some fun. This is one of the best service I’ve ever experienced! I didn’t have to worry about hosting my party. She also did the clean up.

Axe Throwing was also very fun. The instructor (sorry forgot his name) was super friendly and very attentive. He always made sure we were safe and contributed to our conversations—very personable. His knowledge and tips really helped us with throwing, specially for those who were struggling. To make axe throwing more interesting for the 2 hours that we had, he would periodically bring out interested alteratives for us to throw—so creative (won’t spoil it for you)! You can tell he enjoyed his job and wanted us to have the same experience.

So many old school arcade games too—rows and rows! You won’t get bored for sure! I don’t play much games, but my party members were so happy to see the games that they played back when they were young. I saw grown men and women have so much fun playing with the nostalgic games.

Contact them to book a private event, big or small. They are so accommodating and flexible. Their interest is to help you have an easy...

SO. MUCH. FUN! When we got inside we were warmly greeted and walked through the process of axe throwing. Our instructor, Becca, was very helpful in explaining everything and showing us how to do it. We were having a bit of trouble at the start with getting the axes to hit the target right, but she was so helpful and patient and supportive! It only took a moment before we were hitting the targets pretty regularly and having a blast! It was so much fun, and a very inexpensive afternoon activity if I might add. They really helped us to enjoy our visit and we wouldn't hesitate to "swing" by again next time...
